TITLE 29

State Government

General Regulations for State Agencies

CHAPTER 101. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

Subchapter IV. Licenses

(a) Hearings relating to licenses may be held at a time fixed in the discretion of the agency unless timely requested by a party or required by law or regulation.

(b) Whenever an agency proposes to grant, renew or extend a license, it may do so without notice unless a law or regulation requires notice and opportunity for a hearing.

(c) Whenever an agency proposes to deny an application for a license, timely and properly made, or to revoke, suspend, annul or withdraw a license or where it is required by law or regulation to give notice, it shall first give written notice to the licensee or applicant of the intended action and the reasons therefor. The form of the notice shall comply as far as practicable with § 10122 of this title, except that instead of setting a hearing date, it may afford the party at least 10 days to request a hearing.

(d) Notice of a hearing shall be given at least 20 days before the day it is to be held.

(a) Whenever an application is made to renew a license or for a new license for an activity of a continuing nature, the activity does not become illegal until the application has been finally denied by the agency.

(b) Whenever an agency proposes to revoke, suspend, annul or withdraw a license, such action shall not be effective until a final order is issued, except when the public health, safety or welfare clearly requires emergency action and the agency's order so states.
